I am a nurse, I was able to keep my job for about 15 years, missing a lot of time, eventually that's why I stopped. but I haven't been able to work for almost 8 years

I have a job and an amazing boss who is very understanding... I have missed more work then I have been at work! Last week i only managed to work 2 hours! And that is at a job with a boss that will let me work laying on the couch or floor if need be...but if I can't even get out of bed and showered let alone make the drive there, it's just not going to happen!

I had to stop working due to a back injury from work; sued ad won. The fibro started 2 yrs after and still unable to work. My neurologists told me to find a hobby as working is not in my cards anymore... hard to swallow as I'm now 46

I wasn't able to work all my straight away I was a youth worker and unfortunately G2 that unremitting pain and spasms I have not been at work 12 years I've now just become a father which is great as at first before we won't be able to have children due to medication but we had a bit of a one off miracle work was very important to me it was so frustrating having a medical qualification and a diploma in social work 10 years experience and not being able to work I got disability in the UK but the social stigma and the frustration I've not been able to work has taken its toll what are the big changes for me what's been put on baclofen and duloxetine but also exploring mindfulness and it's approach to chronic pain

There is no way i could work either, I feel really bad most of the time. I have applied for my disability which i was denied twice but my attorney is taking it before the judge. I would like to work but with my pain it is almost impossible.
